On the screen, the escape game for the other people continues.
One by one, the nine-grid surveillance cameras went out. When they reappeared, six people were gathered in a closed hall, arguing about something.
After a short while, they seemed to have reached an agreement and split up to look for something in the hall.
Number One was alone in the corner, only his back could be seen, he was still dripping wet and looked quite anxious.
Then Number Two walked over with something in his hand and patted her back reassuringly.
"It's a medicine bottle."
Fang He said this, and then watched as Number One poured two pills into his palm, tilted his head back, and swallowed them.
"She doesn't usually seem sick," Xiao Cheng said, sounding somewhat surprised. "Their bodies are still in the kitchen. Should we go check what kind of medicine it was?"
"It's best not to pry into other people's privacy." Fang He seemed uninterested. "I'm more curious, since it's medicine that he might take at any time, why doesn't he carry it with him himself?"
"You mean... number two?" Xiao Cheng asked him vaguely.
Fang He knew she understood what he meant, so he nodded and said nonchalantly, "Never mind, it's not important, it's someone else's private matter."
Seeing that they wouldn't make much progress in the short term, the two began to explore other game consoles separately.
Xiao Cheng was playing a very simple connect-the-dots game, which seemed particularly out of place among the many extremely difficult games.
After passing through a long ninety-nine levels, she stretched wearily and bent down to pick up the silver game coin that had fallen to the ground.
Then she went to find Fang He.
After obtaining a silver game coin, Fang He went to try playing the game on the gold coin difficulty level.
On the screen, a cartoon character wearing a blue baseball cap runs and jumps through a forest, collecting coins and diamonds along the way. The mileage in the upper right corner keeps refreshing, and as the game continues, the cartoon character's running speed increases, even leaving afterimages.
Fang He was very focused on operating the game controller, and even his blinking frequency became very low.
Until the mileage exceeds 9,000 kilometers.
The cartoon character ran to the edge of the forest and plunged into a dark, narrow cave.
A crooked trophy image popped up on the screen, with the word "victory" written below it in childish and ridiculous font.
The golden game coin rolled out, Fang He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously in his hand, and then handed it to Xiao Cheng.
"Why are you giving me this too?" Xiao Cheng didn't take it, tilting her head and asking him with some confusion.
She took the gold coin that solved the puzzle, but Fang He completed the game independently, so there was no reason to give her the coin back.
"Maybe the more game coins you have, the better," Fang He explained.
"Are you planning to collect all seven to summon the dragon?" Xiao Cheng teased him. "It doesn't matter who has them, what if that represents the difficulty level?"
Fang He had no choice but to put the gold coins away himself: "This game is simpler than the previous one. The match-3 game you just played wasn't very difficult either. Although it's a bit unfair, we can take this opportunity to complete the easier games."
"You said it yourself, it's not fair." Xiao Cheng leaned lazily against the game console. "Besides, there are so many, it's tiring to play them all."
Fang He had only made a suggestion, and since Xiao Cheng didn't accept it, it naturally came to nothing. With nothing else to do, the two sat back down side by side and waited for the six people to pass the level.
Beyond the hall was another new room, and they seemed trapped in an endless loop, mechanically solving one puzzle after another.
Until dinner time.
This time, the black screen never lit up again, followed by a crisp sound from upstairs, like a coin hitting the ground.
Xiao Cheng and Fang He exchanged a glance and ran upstairs almost simultaneously.
The sound of banging on the kitchen door came from the kitchen, along with several people shouting anxiously and wearily.
